Asics Gel-1130 'White Shark Skin'
The ASICS Gel-1130 originally launched as a performance running shoe, built around ASICS' GEL cushioning technology and TRUSSTIC support system. It has since been revived as a lifestyle silhouette, becoming one of the most popular models in the retro running revival alongside the Gel-Kayano 14 and Gel-NYC. The Gel-1130's sleeker, lower-profile design compared to the chunkier Gel-NYC has made it a favourite for anyone who wants a technical runner that's less bulky but still carries genuine ASICS heritage.
The White Shark Skin colourway features an airy white mesh upper with steel blue synthetic leather overlays that create the Gel-1130's signature layered construction. Metallic silver tiger stripes sweep across the side panels for ASICS' iconic branding detail. ASICS branding on the tongue and sockliner add heritage touches. The visible GEL heel insert and white EVA midsole keep the profile clean while showing off the cushioning technology.
Lightweight EVA midsole with visible GEL cushioning in the heel for responsive shock absorption. Airy white mesh upper with steel blue synthetic leather overlays for a clean, technical look. Metallic silver tiger stripes for iconic ASICS branding. TRUSSTIC support system (TPU shank) in the rubber outsole for stability and energy efficiency. ASICS branding on tongue and sockliner for authentic heritage detailing.

The ASICS Gel-1130 White Shark Skin is ideal for anyone who wants a clean, technical retro runner with a slimmer profile than the chunky Gel-NYC. The white and steel blue palette makes it one of the most versatile Gel-1130 colourways, suited to daily wear across seasons. The visible GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC support system deliver genuine comfort and stability.
The White Shark Skin Gel-1130 is one of the cleanest ASICS silhouettes available. The white mesh with steel blue overlays and metallic silver stripes pairs effortlessly with light wash denim, cream joggers, navy chinos, or simple summer fits. The colour palette is fresh without being loud, making it an easy everyday rotation shoe.
The ASICS Gel-1130 sits alongside the Gel-Kayano 14 and Gel-NYC as part of ASICS' retro running revival. Compared to the Gel-NYC, the Gel-1130 has a sleeker, lower-profile silhouette with less visual bulk. Against the Gel-Kayano 14, the Gel-1130 is lighter and more streamlined. Compared to the Nike P-6000, the Gel-1130 offers visible GEL technology and the TRUSSTIC support system for a more technically advanced feel. The White Shark Skin colourway sits in the same clean, neutral space as the Gel-NYC White Smoke Grey but with a slimmer, more athletic profile.

The Gel-1130 features ASICS' signature GEL technology with a visible insert in the heel for responsive shock absorption. The lightweight EVA midsole provides cushioned comfort, while the TRUSSTIC support system (a TPU shank in the outsole) enhances stability and efficient energy transfer during movement.

We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing as this can damage the synthetic leather overlays and metallic silver tiger stripes. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. For white mesh areas, use a soft brush with sneaker cleaning solution.
